(narrative)
"i'm sad you can't make it to my first game."nika mumbled into peyton's chest. today was the uconn women's basketball team first game and peyton had to miss is. the game started at 6. peyton had found out 2 days ago she made the soccer team and their first practice so happened to fall on the same day as the basketball game. peyton had practice from 5-7. "im sorry."she frowned rubbing nika's back.
peyton planned on surprising her and paige today, she knew the game started at 6 so she was gonna try to run to gampel. yea she was gonna be a hour late but it was better than missing the game in general. "i have to start heading out for practice."peyton said pulling away from nika. peyton had on a pair of adidas shorts with a random t-shirt, a pair of crocs and her shin guards. whereas nika had on a her basketball attire, they didn't have to be at gampel until an hour before the game so she figured why not change and get it out the way.
nika frowned nodding understandably. "play good for me."peyton smiled poking nika's cheek making her laugh. "and don't forget to put your ankle braces on"peyton added looking more serious this time. nika smiled nodding her head. they said their final goodbyes before peyton headed off to practice. once peyton made it to the soccer facility she immediately sat down and changed out of her crocs and into her cleats.
the coach blew her whistle signaling that practice was about to began. peyton stood up praying really quickly before running onto the field so she could start practice. the coach explained that the girls where scrimmaging today so she separated the girls by teams. peyton hasn't taken the opportunity to meet any of her other teammates, in all honesty she wanted this year to go by quick and smooth. as they began to all set up for their scrimmage peyton noticed a girl staring. peyton didn't wanna be rude so she waved at the girl, but the girl only rolled her eyes in response.
peyton scoffed before walking to her position. coach blew her whistle again signaling the game was about to start. one of peyton's teammates kicked the ball out to peyton and peyton successfully got the ball and began running down the field with the ball. she ran towards the the goal and kicked it, making it in the net. she smiled as her teammates came and patted her on the back.
the other team got the ball making peyton immediately start playing defense. she started guarding the girl that rolled her eyes at her earlier since she had the ball. peyton, being quick, quickly swiped the ball from underneath her feet and began running towards her goal. that was until the girl from earlier came up behind her and kicked her in calf making peyton fold and fall. peyton wasn't in pain, she was upset. she frowned getting up as her teammates and coach ran towards her asking if she was okay. "i'm fine"she gave them a tight lipped smile and walked away.
soon practice ended and coach mota gave her speech. after her speech peyton immediately booked it to her bag changing out of her cleats and throwing them in her bag and grabbing her crocs slipping them on. she grabbed her phone checking the time before running to gampel. once she got there she immediately walked in showing the lady at the front her ticket before walking in. she walked up the bleachers trying to find her seat and when she found it she sighed in relief.
she sat down putting her bag in the seat next to her. she looked at the score board seeing it was the 3rd quarter. she looked onto the court looking for a certain blonde and brunette and when she found them she smiled seeing them playing and talking. the ref blew the whistle signaling for the play to start. peyton huffed as she seen a girl pushing nika around. now nika definitely wasn't the shortest one on the team, but she also wasn't one of the tallest.
everyone on the other team had to be at least 6'1 and over, whereas nika was 5'11. peyton stood once she seen the girl again, but this time she kneed nika in the back of her head when she fell. peyton eyes widen as she seen the coaches and players huddled up around nika. she heard the coaches yelling at the girls to move back. 3 mins later everyone started clapping when nika got up, her face drenched in tears and it was red. she walked towards the bench sitting down and throwing her head back.
peyton frowned sitting back down. she was upset she couldn't do anything. whether peyton admitted or not, she started to develop and tiny crush on nika. she didn't wanna tell nika because she was scared it was gonna ruin what they had now.
soon the game ended and peyton immediately ran to the court. once she got there she was stopped by security. "ma'am you can't walk past yet"he said in a firm tone. peyton groaned nodding her head before stepping back waiting until the security guard moved. once he did she and others quickly walked onto the court. she then began looking for nika and paige. once she found them she ran to them hugging paige first. "you did so good p"peyton smiled hugging her cousin tight.
"thank ya twin"paige smiled making nika frown. "im your twin asshole"nika spoke making peyton and paige laugh. peyton let go of paige walking towards nika and hugging her. nika smiled hugging her back. they pulled back slightly looking at each other. "how's your head"peyton whispered bringing her hand to the back of nika's head. nika smiled leaning her head on peyton's shoulder.
"it feels better. just a little headache"nika shrugged. peyton smiled pulling nika back a little and grabbing her face rubbing her thumbs against her cheekbones. nika smiled harder but her smile widened once she seen peyton leaning in. nika happily leaned in as well. and there they stood, in the middle of the basketball court kissing. no one but the basketball team and a couple of family's were in there.
paige whistled once she seen them kiss. peyton's eyes widen once she realized they were doing this in front of people. "i'm so sorry"she pulled away from nika. nika laughed grabbing peyton's hands. "it's okay, i liked it"nika shyly said. peyton smiled harder hugging nika again. "you wanna go out with me tomorrow?"peyton mumbled rubbing circles on nika's waist. "of course p"nika smiled.
